Environment Agency Wales (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FER0395249 (30 January 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested information relating to an investigation into a specific instance of illegal tipping. The Environment Agency Wales (the -EAW-) confirmed that it held some relevant information but refused to disclose it under the third party personal information exception (regulations 12(3) and 13). The EAW argued that this information was sensitive personal data as it related to statutory enforcement action taken against both the named County Council and the landowner. The Commissioner-s decision is that the EAW correctly relied upon regulations 12(3) and 13 in order to withhold the information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 12 - Complaint Not upheld, EIR 13 - Complaint Not upheld
